Posted with permission from the management::

Folks, our friends at Vietnam Veterans For Truth have done a wonderful job this year. They are the people who held the KERRY LIED rally in Washington DC, where many Freepers attended.

The folks at http://www.kerrylied.com are having some trouble, though. Through their attempts to educate the public about John Kerry and his slander of Vietnam Veterans, they have run up some operating costs that are over their budget.



You may mail a personal check (no corporate checks are permitted) to Vietnam Vets for the Truth, PO Box 49, Mt. Vernon, VA 22121.

Federal laws require that the name, address, occupation, and employer name be included with your contribution.

For credit card or Paypal contributions, press here:

PAYPAL link to donate to the Vietnam Veterans for Truth

It would be the Christmassy thing to do!

ALSO, send out something to Don and Cindy Adams!

Billie! I am shocked! This is all quite politically incorrect and beautiful. Even as I write, if you look out your window, you will see Scrooge, Mr. Grinch and the ACLU demonstrating on your front lawn and chanting, "No more Christmas!"

(No, I take it back, Scrooge and Mr. Grinch found the Christmas spirit after all! Nowadays it's only the liberals and the ACLU trying to steal Christmas.)

Merry Christmas!

Wow.......

Just when I think you've *outdone* yourself, you come along and create something even more exquisite.

I *love* the visuals, of course - but I am also fascinated by the history of the Christmas Card. I've never heard that story before and it is a wonderful one.

I'll be back later to post my Christmas greetings to all. We need to get out of the house for a while to let the cobwebs clear.

Hi sistah billie. What a lovely lovely thread. The presentaton is esquisite!!! (and I agree with everyone that it's nice to see Christ in Christmas)

We're snowed in...our county is declared a level 3 emergency which means its illegal to be on the roads except in emergencies. But we have electricity, food, water, and it is very beautiful. Will try to post some pictures later.

Celebrate The Baby

Read: Luke 2:8-14

There is born to you this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. —Luke 2:11

Bible In One Year: Nahum 1-3; Revelation 14


Why do we celebrate Jesus' birthday so differently from other birthdays? When it's time to honor historical figures who have a day set aside for them, we don't think about them as babies. We don't have pictures of cute little Abe Lincoln in his log cabin in Kentucky. No, we remember him for his contributions as an adult.

It is proper, though, that we celebrate Jesus as a child. Think about it. When He was born, shepherds came to honor Him (Luke 2:15-16). Later, wise men from the East brought Him gifts (Matthew 2:8-12). These people had no idea what Christ would eventually accomplish as an adult. But they were right in doing what they did, because Jesus' birth was the most remarkable event in human history.

How amazing! God in human form. The Creator of the universe visiting this planet. Let's never hesitate to celebrate this baby at Christmas. Marvel at His incarnation. Stand in awe of the tiny baby who had created His worshipers. Then step back in wonder, for the story gets even better. This baby grew into manhood, lived a perfect life, and willingly died for your sins and mine.

Celebrate the baby and trust the Savior. That's how to make Christmas complete. —Dave Branon

How wonderful that we on Christmas morn,
Though centuries have passed since Christ was born,
May worship still the Living Lord of men,
Our Savior, Jesus, Babe of Bethlehem. —Hutchings

Wise men today worship not only the Child of Bethlehem, but also the Man of Calvary.

Billie,This is just lovely.. and informative - I never knew the facts of history of greeting cards for Christmas. I linked it to the last DollyHumor which will go out tomorrow (if we have power). You find (or do you make them ?) the neatest graphics

we're snowed in in Northern Ohio too phancy.. thigh high fallen in driveway when I took out O at 5 AM. and it is still coming down. windy & very cold. Many areas have lost their power..we so far are lucky. There are a long of huge evergreen limbs fallen in yard. weight of snow & ice atop & more snow... The airport for now is inoperable...flights all canceled or delayed.

no biking today I guess. lol nor cross country skiing, as the van is buried in driveway

I know a big part of country is under bad weather.. makes traveling so treacherous. for those needing to go someplace or waiting for their loved ones.

Beautiful Post Billie. Love the Christmas tree with the signatures at the end, thanks for including mine.

I know you played this song on your Hawaii Post last week but I'm playing it again today since it's so upbeat...(the Bing Crosby version).

...it means

to you.
